Hurricane Katrina ripped into the U.S. Gulf Coast on Monday, stranding people on rooftops as it pummeled the historic jazz city New Orleans with 100 mph (160 kph) winds and swamped Mississippi resort towns and lowlands with a crushing surge of seawater.

Much of the city was heavily damaged during the peak of the category four storm. The storm slammed into New Orleans on Monday with winds of 135 mph (216 kph), shutting 91 percent of the normal 1.5 million barrels per day of crude oil production in the Gulf Coast region.

Freepers beware of any too good of a deal on a car. Check for water lines in the doors and trunk. Cars will be totaled because of flood damage but someone can then try to sell them for a good price, often shipped to other parts of the Country.

I know this will sound a tad selfish, but I'm looking for Metairie-specific photos, if they are available.

My brother is with me right now and he lives near Power Blvd. and I-10 and is wondering if he has a house worth going back to now that the storm has passed.

Will the Media ask One Question for me?

How many people from the 9th ward (who made up the majority of those folks in the SuperDome, will now volunteer to help the National Guard with the Cleanup?

I will bet you the question does not get asked.
I will bet you the answer is ZERO

New Orleans is the Perfect Example of a Welfare State.
The folks in the Ninth Ward do ZERO except to Party, Vote for the people that will enhance their Welfare condition and on a Regular basis collect pretty good size Welfare Checks and just keep pumping out them babies.

I hope that at bare minimum that those folks have to do something other than just point to get their couch or TV replaced.
